Proposed Special Loan for the Completion of the Waterworks.

The Council of the Borough of Westport hereby gives public notice that such Council proposes to borrow (by way of special loan within the meaning of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” and its amendments) the sum of £3,500, to be expended in the completion of the Corporation waterworks.

The Council proposes to pledge an annual-recurring special rate of ½d. in the pound on the rateable value (on the basis of the unimproved value) of all rateable property within the Borough of Westport as security for the said loan and the interest and other charges thereon. Interest to be paid at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum.

It is proposed that the whole amount of the loan shall be repayable at the expiration of a term not exceeding forty-one years, to be computed from the date of raising the loan.

ALTERATION IN QUARRIES REACH CUTTING, BRISBANE RIVER.

Notice is hereby given that on and after Tuesday, 19th June, the use of the Quarries Reach Cutting as heretofore defined will be discontinued, and the new cutting in that locality will be marked and lighted for use.

The Hamilton Cutting is continued about 1,500 ft. downstream beyond its former limit.

Marks.—The white triangular beacons with lights at the up-stream end of the cutting will be moved down-stream, so that when in line bearing S. 67° W. they will lead through the centre of the new cutting up to the red buoy marking the turn into the Hamilton Cutting.

The white triangular beacons at the down-stream end of the old Quarries Cutting will also be moved to mark the centre line of the new cutting.

The red buoy marking the turn from the old cutting into the Hamilton Cutting will be moved down-stream about 1,500 ft., to mark the turn between the Hamilton Cutting and the New Quarries Reach Cutting.

Directions.—Vessels proceeding up the river will, after passing Parker Island lead, bring the white triangular beacons with lights in line ahead bearing S. 67° W., or a pair of white triangular beacons in line astern bearing N. 67° E., and proceed with those marks in line for about 10 cables, rounding a red buoy, when the existing Hamilton Cutting beacons and lights will come in line astern bearing S. 81° E. Keep the latter marks in line, and proceed as before.

The cutting is 300 ft. wide.
